Worst passer I have ever seen throw a football on a pro field. However I do think it was fucked up that the coach didn't give him a shot that critical game when he put in the 3rd stringer, ouch.
Tebow was probably hoping for a little divine intervention to fix the slow-mo arm mechanics but that didnt happen...he will make a good TV commentator if the networks aren't too scared to hire a brainwashed jesus freak all fucked up on the lord.

When you look at just the stats, Tebow has a career passer rating of 75.3. That year with the Broncos it was 82.1. Eli Manning's first season in the NFL he played in 9 games and had a 55.4 passer rating. His first full year as a starter he had a 75.9 pass rating. His second full season as a starter saw him with a 77 passer rating and his third saw him with a 73.9. It wasn't until his fourth full season as a starter that he broke into 80's in passer rating and got an 86.9
Other notable first year as a starter passer ratings:
Drew Brees - 76.9
Joe Flacco - 80.1
Mark Sanchez - 63.0 (has never had a year above 78)
Carson Palmer - 77
Josh Freeman 59.8
And the list goes on.
I'm not saying that this is proof that Tebow could become some great all star caliber QB. He very well may not be able to be. Like others have said, there are plenty of high profile QB's from college who didn't make it in the pros. Hell, only about 50% of the #1 overall QB picks end up actually going on to be good players. What, to me, seems different, is that nobody seems to want Tebow or even want to try to develop him.
In most cases if you had a guy who won the Heisman trophy and two national championships teams would at least be willing to say that the guy is worth looking at and trying to develop. A guy like that might get multiple tries in multiple places before people finally gave up on him. It seemed like Tebow was never wanted in Denver or New York. At the very least you would think a team could take him on as a backup and develop him.
For some reason that isn't happening here. To me this means there is something else that is the problem. Maybe they look at his basic mechanics and decide he is unfixable, but I don't think that is the case. I think teams don't want the drama that comes with his religious stuff and the fanatical fans he has. If he is on your bench his fans will be screaming for him to play the second your starting QB has a bad game. Once again I say look at Ryan Leif. He got three chances with three different teams and everyone knew his problem was that he needed help learning to play at the NFL level on the field and he had serious mental issues off the field, yet three teams took a shot on him before he finally was cut loose. Tebow appears to not be able to get the time of day from a team.
Then again, maybe we only know half the story. Maybe Tebow is telling teams he will only sign with them if he is given a chance to compete for the starting job which would greatly narrow down his potential suitors.
